I've got an idea that I'd like to make a prototype of by forking Bitcoin and changing the mining algorithm from proof of work to a new mining scheme I've created called proof of random.

As I understand it proof of work was intended originally to distribute the block production ability as randomly as possible - anyone with a CPU.

I don't think it's controversial to recognize that the goal has not been realized. If we want to distribute mining power randomly we can do it explicitly.

I'm making this post to see what everyone thinks of this. Is it an exciting idea for you? Do you think I'm deluded? Be as brutal as you like, I want honest feedback. I also won't be surprised if I get an open-minded and curious response.

I intend to prove it's actually a trivial problem that is staring us in the face. Is it worth the attempt?
